Benefits of technology

The present invention allows users to identify objects that have a specific smell or taste. This can be helpful in situations where the user is not familiar with the object and wants to understand it better.

Problems solved by technology

Generally, it is difficult for people to accurately describe a smell to themselves or to others.
This is because most people are not required to describe smells and thus they lack a working vocabulary to do so.
Moreover, people tend not to be able to clearly recognize a correspondence between a smell and a description to be used for the smell.

first modification

[0063]The present invention may be applied not only to the smell sense but also to the taste sense (e.g., gustatory objects such as wine, Japanese rice wine, spice, seasoning, etc.). That is, the present invention may be implemented by replacing “smell” in the embodiment with “taste.”

second modification

[0064]In the above embodiment, the user specifies a description from among descriptions included in the specified description groups prepared in advance. However, the method of specifying the description is not limited thereto. For example, the user may input a description as a word to the input device. Alternatively, the user may select a description from a book or the like and input the description to the input device. Further, the method for inputting the description is not limited to a manual operation performed by the user, and an input may be made via voice or remote gesture.

third modification

[0065]In the above-described embodiment, the related description specified by the user from the related description group is specified as the related description with high priority, but the method for specifying the priority is not limited thereto. For example, data relating to at least one of an attribute, a preference, and a behavior of a user may be accumulated, and a related description matching at least one of the attribute, the preference, and the behavior of the user may be estimated from the accumulated content (e.g., a description preferred by women in their twenties, a description preferred by a user watching movies as a hobby, a description preferred by a user having a travel preference, and the like) to specify the priority. The relationship between the user's attributes, preferences or actions and the related description for which the user of such attributes, preferences or actions specifies a high priority may be specified using an algorithm learned by machine learning...

Abstract

To enable a user to know a smell or taste (of an object) that matches a specified description, when a card is placed on a sensing surface of a sensor, the description specifying unit specifies which card (or which description) is located at which position on the sensing surface. A first display control unit that controls a projector to display a related description group, which is a description group related to the description shown on the card. A priority specifying unit specifies a priority for each of the displayed related descriptions. A second display control unit displays a relationship between at least one related description included in the displayed related description group and an object that stimulates a sense of smell or taste described by the related description. On displaying the relation image, the relationship being displayed by an appearance in accordance with a specified priority.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a technique for describing a smell or taste of an object.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Smells are known to provide various benefits to humans by stimulating the limbic system, which has a role in controlling emotion, behavior and memory. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method in which a subject smells a smell is asked questions about memories associated with the smell, and a numerical value is assigned to the answer, and is recorded.PRIOR ART DOCUMENTSPatent Document[0003][Patent Document 1] JP-A-2016-180830SUMMARYProblem to be Solved[0004]Generally, it is difficult for people to accurately describe a smell to themselves or to others. This is because most people are not required to describe smells and thus they lack a working vocabulary to do so. Moreover, people tend not to be able to clearly recognize a correspondence between a smell and a description to be used for the smell.[0005]Rather than describing a smell as outlined ab...
